CHAPTER 47

  Lucas' P.O.V.

  "Happy birthday again, mom. I love you." I kissed her cheek again as I said my goodbye.

  I was ready to take Rose to her flat and get my first journal. I wanted to dive right in. This woman before me intrigued me greatly and getting to see into her mind was the greatest gift I could ask for.

  "I love you, too. Thank you for being civil with your uncle." She squeezed my arm lovingly.

  "It was nice to meet you, Sarah." My polite Rose held her hand out for my mom to shake. Mom didn't do handshakes though, bringing her in for a hug instead.

  "The pleasure is all mine. I hope to see you again. Thank you again for my gift," Mom said with a smile.

  I was surprised and happy to see that Rose had brought a gift for her. She amazes me everyday, surprising me with something new. I guided her outside, making sure to hold her tightly against me as we stepped over the gravel.

  I won't ever let her fall.
